Kueyen at South East Dance
As part of the Rough Cuts series of work-in-progress sharings at South East Dance, this new dance theatre work weaves together Tango, Contemporary Dance, Theatre, and Mapuche cosmology to explore identity, migration and our relationship to the environment.
Female-led and intercultural, asking how cultures can coexist, what indigenous knowledge offers our environmental future and how dance can help us reimagine belonging.
Central to the piece is a reclaiming of female power: challenging the sexualised image of women in Tango through the lens of Mapuche matriarchal culture. Research has been grounded in direct engagement with Mapuche communities in Argentina and elder women from UK community organisations, centring authenticity and underrepresented voices.
Cross-disciplinary in form, incorporating installation and indigenous cosmological frameworks — Kueyen is both a celebration of strong female leadership and an invitation to imagine living differently together.
A Tango Gathering on The Dance Floor
A curated celebration of Argentine tango as a living art form. Conceived and directed by Anna Alvarez and Pablo Cortazzo, Artistic Directors of Tango Sur, this takeover brings the stage and the social floor together for an afternoon built around live performance, choreography and culture with artists from across the tango world, an excerpt of the new dance-theatre work “Kueyen”, and the craft of tango laid bare on stage.
At its heart are the performances. Couples from the tango community share the stage, and Anna Alvarez Compañía presents an excerpt of “Kueyen”, a new dance-theatre work that integrates tango with contemporary dance. Around this artistic core, the day also opens its doors, with hands-on workshops and an open social floor, so audiences can move from watching to dancing.
• Date: Saturday 27 June 2026, 12 – 6pm.
• Venue: The Dance Floor, Sadler’s Wells East.
• Price: Free, no ticket needed.
